clitirehes which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and 
unto ' Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto 
Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadel- 
phia, and unto Laodicea. And when I saw him, 
1 fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right 
hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not ; I am

was dead ; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, 
Amen ; and have the keys of hell and of death.

world. Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, 
verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh 
of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye havei 
no life in you. llom. iii chap. 24, 25 : Being 
justified freely by his grace through the redemp- 
tion that is in Christ Jesus : Whom God hath 
set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his 
blood, to declare his righteousness for the remis- 
sion of sins that are past, through the forbearance 
of God ; v chap. 6, 8, 15 : For when we were yet 
without strength, in due time Christ died for the 
ungodly. But God commendeth his love toward 
us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died 
for us. Bat not as the offence, so also is the 
free gift. For if through the offence of one many 
be dead, much more the grace of God, and the 

fift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, 
ath abounded unto many, v chap. 11, 16, 18: 
And not only so, but we also joy in God through 
our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now 
received the atonement And not as it washy 
one that sinned so is the gift : for the judgment 
was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is 
of many offences unto justification. Therefore, 
as by the offence of one judgment came upon all 
men to condemnation ; even so by the righteous- 
ness of one the free gift came upon all men unto 
justification of life. 1 Cor. i chap. 30 : But of 
him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made 
unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctifi-

in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's,

that which I also received, how that Christ died 
for our sins according to the scriptures : 2 Cor. 
v chap. 14, 15 : For the love of Christ constrain-

eth us ; because we thus judge, that if one died for 
all, then were all dead : And that he died for 
all, that they which live should not henceforth 
live unto themselves, but unto him which died 
for them, and rose again. Gal. iii chap. 8, 13 : 
And the scripture, foreseeing that God would 
justify the heathen through faith, preached be- 
fore the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In theo 
6hall all nations be blessed. Christ hath redeem- 
ed us from the curse of the law, being made a 
curse for us : for it is written, Cursed is every 
one that hangeth on a tree : 1 Tim. ii chap. 5, 6 : 
For there is one God, and one mediator between 
God and men, the man Christ Jesus ; Who gave 
himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

made a little lower than the angels for the suffer-

man. Wherefore in all things it behoved him

be a merciful and faithful high priest in things 
jjertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the

cession for them, xi chap. 6, 7 : But without 
faith it is impossible to please him : for he that 
cometh to God must believe that he is, and that 
he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. 
By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not

his sins, and his trespass, and the places where-

man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and 
cry mightily unto God : yea, let them turn every 
one from his evil way, and from the violence that

that we perish not ? And God saw their works,

richly all things to enjoy ; That they do good, 
that they be rich in good works, ready to distri-

thou affirm constantly, that they which have be-

And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before 
God ; and the books were opened : and another 
book was opened, which is the book of life : and 
the dead were judged out of those things which 
were written in the books, according to their 
works. And the sea gave up the dead which 
were in it ; and death and hell delivered up the 
dead which were in them : and they were judged 
every man according to their works, xxii chap,

On the doctrine of Election, — First, Christ is 
the elect. Isa. xlii chap. 1 : Behold my servant, 
whom I uphold ; mine elect, in whom my soul 
delighteth ; I have put my spirit upon him : he 
shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles. 

Secondly, Angels are elected by God. 1 Tim, 
v chap. 21 : I charge thee before God, and the 
Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that 
thou observe these things without preferring one 
before another, doing nothing by partiality. 

Thirdly, The Jews are called God's elect. — 
Isa. xlv chap. 4 : For Jacob my servant's sake, 
and Israel mine elect, I have even called thee 
by thy name : I have surnamed thee, though 
thou hast not known me. Deu. vii chap. 6, 7 : 
For thou art a holy people unto the Lord thy 
God : the Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be 
a special people unto himself, above all people 
that are upon the face of the earth. The Lord 
did not set his love upon you, nor choose you 5 
because ye were more in number than any peo- 
ple ; for ye icere the fewest of all peoj)le. Isa,

Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham

men thereof, and said unto thee. Thou art my 
servant ; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee 
away. Rom. ix chap. 11, 12, 13 ; (For the chil-

Fourthly, Believers are chosen unto salvation 
through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of 
the truth. That is by means of sanctification of the 
Spirit and belief of the truth, which is the same 
meaning. See 2 Thes. ii chap. 13 : But we are 
bound to give thanks always to God for you, 
brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath 
from the ^beginning chosen you to salvation 
through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of 
the truth. James ii chap. 5 : Hearken, my be- 
loved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor 
of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the king-

him? 1 Peter i chap. 2 ; Elect according to the 
foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanc-

unto them. And at what instant I shall speak 
concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom,

each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniqui- 
ties, even forty years, and ye shall know my

destroy the accursed from among you. 1 Sam.

Jer. xxvi chap. 18, 19 : Mlcah the Morasthite 
prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Ju- 
dah, and spake to all the people of Judah, saying, 
Thus saith the Lord of hosts ; Zion shall be 
ploughed like a field, and Jerusalem shall be- 
come heaps, and the mountain of the house as 
the high places of a forest. Did Hezekiah king 
of Judah and all Judah put him at all to death ? 
did he not fear the Lord, and besought the Lord, 
and the Lord repented him of the evil which he 
had pronounced against them ? Thus might we 
procure great evil against our souls, xxxvii chap,

fight against this city, and take it, and burn it

not be burned with fire; and thou shalt live, and 
thine house. Acts xxvii chap. 22, 31: And 
now I exhort you to be of good cheer : for there

but of the ship. Paul said to the centurian and 
to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, 
ye cannot be saved. Jonah iii chap. 4, 10 : And 
Jonah began to enter into the city a day's jour- 
ney, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and 
Nineveh shall be overthrown. And God saw 
their works, that they turned from their evil 
way ; and God repented of the evil, that he had 
said that he would do unto them ; and he did it 
not. 

To take some texts just as they read, all that 
are noio righteous will he saved. — See John 
iii chap. 36: He that believeth on the Son hath 
everlasting life : and he that believeth not the 
Son shall not see life ; but the wrath of God 
abideth on him. vi chap. 40: And this is the 
will of him that sent me, that every one which 
seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have 
everlasting life : and I will raise him up at the 
last day. Mark xvi chap. 16 : He that believ- 
eth and is baptized shall be saved ; but he that 
believeth not shall be damned. But see the con- 
ditional threat in Ezek. xxxiii chap. 14 : When 
I shall say to the righteous, that he shall surely 
live ; if he trust to his own righteousness, and 
commit iniquity, all his righteousness shall not 
be remembered ; but for his iniquity that he 
hath committed, he shall die for it. 

And to take some other texts just as they read^ 
all that are now wicked will be damned, and no 
one turn from his evil way. See Prov. v chap. 
22, 23 : His own iniquities shall take the wicked 
himself, and he shall Ire holden with the cords 
of his sins. He shall die without instruction ; 
and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray. 
Pan, xii chap. 10 : Many shall be purified, and

which are these ; Adultery, fornication, un clean- 
ness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, 
variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, 
heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, re- 
vellings, and such like : of the which I tell you 
before, as I have told you in time past, that they 
which do such things shall not inherit the king- 
dom of God. 2 Tim. iii chap. 13 : But evil men 
and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiv-

On GocPs covenant with his people Israel. — 
The commencement of the covenant, 3382 years 
before Christ. See Gen. vi chap. 18 : But with 
thee will I establish my covenant ; and thou 
shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and 
thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee. Exod. 
vi chap. 4, 5, 6 : And I have also established 
my covenant with them, to give them the land 
of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, where- 
in they were strangers. And I have also heard 
the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the 
Egyptians keep in bondage ; and I have remem- 
bered my covenant. Wherefore say unto the 
children of Israel, I am the Lord, and I will 



HOLY SCRIPTURES. 63 

bring you out from under the burdens of the 
Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bond- 
age, and I will redeem you with a stretched out 
arm, and with great judgments. Jer. xi chap. 
2, 5 : Hear ye the words of this covenant, and 
speak unto the men of Judah, and to the inhabi- 
tants of Jerusalem ; That I may perform the 
oath which I have sworn unto -your fathers, to 
give them a land flowing with milk and honey, 
as it is this day. Then answered I, and said, 
So be it, O Lord. The condition, verse 4 : 
Which I commanded your fathers in the day 
that I brought them out of Egypt, from the iron 
furnace, saying, Obey my voice, and do them, 
according to all which I command you : so shall 
ye be my people, and I will be your God. 

But they broke the covenant. See verse 8, 9, 
10 : Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, 
but walked every one in the imagination of their 
evil heart : therefore I will bring upon them all 
the words of this covenant, which I commanded 
them to do ; but they did them not. And the 
Lord said unto me, A conspiracy is found among 
the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of 
Jerusalem. They are turned back to the iniqui- 
ties of their forefathers, which refused to hear 
my words ; and they went after other gods to 
serve them : the house of Israel and the house 
of Judah have broken my covenant which I 
made with their fathers. Deut. vii chap. 12 : 
Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye heark- 
en to these judgments, and keep and do them, 
that the Lord thy God shall keep unto thee the 
covenant and the mercy which he sware unto 
thy fathers, xxxiii chap. 9 : Who said unto 
liis father and to his mother, I have not seen 
him ; neither did he acknowledge his brethren, 



64 CONCORDANCE OF THE 

nor knew his own children : for they have ob- 
served thy word, and kept thy covenant. 

But they kept not the covenant. See Psa. 
Ixxviii 9, 10, 11 : The children of Ephraim being 
armed, and carrying bows, turned back in the 
day of battle. They kept not the covenant of 
God, and refusal to walk in his law ; And for- 
gat his works, and his wonders that he had 
shewed them. 

God's judgments executed because of their 
sins. See verse 31, 41, 57 to 64: The wrath of 
God came upon them, and slew the fattest of 
them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel. 
Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and 
limited the Holy one of Israel. But turned 
back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers : 
they were turned aside like a deceitful bow. 
For they provoked him to anger with their high 
places, and moved him to jealousy with their 
graven images. When God heard this, he ^as 
wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel : So that he 
forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which 
he placed among men ; And delivered his 
strength into captivity, and his glory into the 
enemy's hand. He gave his people over also 
unto the sword ; and was wroth with his inheri- 
tance. The fire consumed their young men ; 
and their maidens were not given to marriage. 
Their priests fell by the sword ; and their widows 
made no lamentation. 

These judgments came upon them after God 
drove out the heathen before them. See Psa. 
Ixxviii, 54, 55 : And he brought them to the 
border of his sanctuary, even to this mountain, 
which his right hand had purchased. He cast 
out the heathen also before them, and divided 



H0L1T SCRIPTURES. 65 

them an inheritance by line, and made the tribes 
of Israel to dwell in their tents. 

See the cause why they were cursed. — Psa. 
lxxviii, 56 to 64 : Yet they tempted and provok- 
ed the most high God, and kept not his testimo- 
nies : But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully 
like their fathers : they were turned aside like 
a deceitful bow. For they provoked him to an- 
ger with their high places, and moved him to 
jealousy with their graven images. When God 
heard this, he was wroth, and greatly abhorred 
Israel : So that he forsook the tabernacle of 
Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men ; 
And delivered his strength into captivity, and 
his glory into the enemy's hand. He gave his 
people over also unto the sword ; and was wroth 
with his inheritance. The fire consumed their 
young men ; and their maidens were not given 
to marriage. Their priests fell by the sword ; 
and their widows made no lamentation. Deut. 
xxvii chap. 26 : Cursed be he that confirmeth 
not all the words of this law to do them : 
and all the people shall say, Amen. Gal. 
iii chap. 10 : For as many as are of the works 
of the law are under the curse : for it is writ- 
ten, Cursed is every one that continueth not 
in all things which are written in the book of 
the law to do them. Psa. x, 5, 8, 9, 10 : His 
ways are always grievous ; thy judgments are 
far above out of his sight : as for all his enemies, 
he puffeth at them. He sitteth in the lurking 
places of the villages : in the secret places doth 
he murder the innocent : his eyes are privily set 
against the poor. He lieth in wait secretly as 
a lion in his den : he lieth in wait to catch the 

Eoor : he doth catch the poor, when he draweth 
im into his net. He croucheth, and humbleth

himself, that the poor may fall by his strong 
ones. 

God's blessings.— Psa, cvi, 10, 11, 12 : And 
he saved them from the hand of him that hated 
them, and redeemed them from the hand of the 
enemy. And the waters covered their enemies : 
there was not one of them left. Then believed 
they his words ; they sang his praise. 

But God destroyed them. See verse 26 : 
Therefore he lifed ^p his hand against them, to 
overthrow them in the wilderness. Lev. xxvi 
chap. 9 : For I will have respect unto you, and 
make you fruitful, and multiply you, and estab- 
lish my covenant with you. See the condition 
of the covenant, verse 14, 15: But if ye will not 
hearken unto me, and will not do all these com- 
mandments ; And if ye shall despise my statutes, 
or if your soul abhor my judgments, so that ye 
will not do all my commandments, but that ye 
break my covenant : His threatenings, verse 
16 to 39 : I also will do this unto you ; I will 
even appoint over you terror, consumption, and 
the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, 
and cause sorrow of heart : and ye shall sow your 
seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. And 
I will set my face against you, and ye shall be 
slain before your enemies : they the t hate j r ou 
shall reign over you ; and ye shall flee when 
none pursueth you. And if ye will not yet for 
all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you 
seven times more for your sins. And I will 
break the pride of your power; and I will make 
your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass : 
And your strength shall be spent in vain : for 
your land shall not yield her increase, neither 
shall the trees of the land yield their fruits. 
And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not 



HOLY SCRIPTURES. 67 

hearken unto me ; I will bring seven times more 
plagues upon you according to your sins. I will 
also send wild beasts among you, which shall 
rob you of your children, and destroy your cat- 
tle, and make you few in number; and your 
highways shall be desolate. And if ye will not 
be reformed by me by these things, but will walk 
contrary unto me ; Then will I also walk contra- 
ry unto you, and will punish you yet seven times 
for your sins. And I will bring a sword upon 
you, that shall avenge the quarrel of my cove- 
nant : and when ye are gathered together with- 
in your cities, I will send the pestilence among 
you ; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of 
the enemy. And when I have broken the staff 
of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread 
in one oven, and they shall deliver you your 
bread again by weight : and ye shall eat, and 
not be satisfied. And if ye will not for all this 
hearken unto me, but will walk contary unto me ; 
Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury ; 
and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for 
your sins. And ye shall eat the flesh of your 
sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye 
eat. And I will destroy your high places, and 
cut down your images, and cast your carcasses 
upon the carcasses of your idols, and my soul 
shall abhor you. And I will make your cities 
waste, and bring your sanctuaries unto desola- 
tion, and I will not smell the savour of your 
sweet odours. And I will bring the land into 
desolation : and your enemies which dwell 
therein shall be astonished at it. And I will 
scatter you among the heathen, and will draw 
out a sword after you : and your land shall be 
desolate, and your cities waste. Then shall the 
land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it lieth deso«

late, and ye be in your enemies' land ; even then 
shall the land rest, and enjoy her sabbaths. As 
long as it lieth desolate it shall rest ; because it 
did not rest in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt 
upon it. And upon them that are left alive of 
you I wiU send a faintness into their hearts in 
the land of their enemies ; and the sound of a 
shaken leaf shall chase them ; and they shall flee 
as fleeing from a sword ; and they shall fall when 
none pursueth. And they shall fall one upon 
another, as it were before a sword, when none 
pursueth : and ye shall have no power to stand 
before your enemies. And ye shall perish among 
the heathen, and the land of your enemies shall 
eat you up. And they that are left of you shall 
pine away in their iniquity in your enemies' 
lands ; and also in the iniquities of their fathers 
shall they pine away with them. 

The promise conditional. — See verse 40, 41 : 
If they shall confess their iniquity, and the ini- 
quity of their fathers, with their trespass which 
they trespassed against me, and that also they 
have walked contrary unto me ; And that I also 
have walked contrary unto them, and have 
brought them into the land of their enemies ; 
if then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled, 
and they then accept of the punishment of their 
iniquity : Deut. iv chap. 31 : (For the Lord thy 
God is a merciful God ;) he will not forsake thee, 
neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of 
thy fathers, which he sware unto them. See a 
caution, verse 23, 24, 28 : Take heed unto your- 
selves, lest ye forget the covenant of the Lord 
your God, which he made with you, and make 
you a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, 
which the Lord thy God hath forbidden the«. 
For the Lord thy God is a consuming fire, even

a jealous God. And there ye shall serve gods, 
the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which 
neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell. 

Condition stated, verse 29 : But if from thence 
thou shalt seek the Lord thy God, thou shalt 
find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart 
and with all thy soul. 

The Messenger of the covenant. — Mai. iii chap.

But they went away from God's ordinances —

1 Chron. xxviii chap. 9 : And thou, Solomon 
my son, know thou the God of thy father, and

cording to all the abominations that the wicked 
man doeth, shall he live? All his righteous-

in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in 
his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die. 
When a righteous man turneth away from his 
righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and 
dieth in them ; for his iniquity that he hath done

as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not 
fall thereby in the day that he turneth from his

And he had seven hundred wives, princesses,

when Solomon was old. that his wives turned 
away his heart after other gods : and his heart 
was not perfect with the Lord his God, as was 
the heart of David his father. For Solomon 
went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zido- 
nians, and after Milcom the abomination of the 
Ammonites, xi chap. 6, 9 : And Solomon did 
evil in the sight of the Lord, and went not fully 
after the Lord, as did David his father. And 
the Lord was angry with Solomon, because 
his heart was turned from the Lord God of 
Israel, which had appeared unto him twice, 
xi chap. 40, 43 : Solomon sought therefore to kill 
Jeroboam. And. Jeroboam arose and fled into

Then Asa was wroth with the seer, and put him

because of this thing. And Asa oppressed some

than the other, to receive according to his works, 
by the same rule one of the righteous must be 
in heaven longer than the other, to receive ac- 
cording to his works. But the reward and pun- 
ishment are in degrees. See Dan. xii chap. 3 : 
And they that be wise shall shine as the bright-

righteousness, as the stars for ever and ever. Mat.

shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sydon at the 
day of judgment, than for you. And thou, Ca-

which have been done in thee, had been done in 
Sodom, it wo« Id have remained until this day.

gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to des- 
truction, and many there be which go in thereat : 
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, 
shall enter into the kingdom of heaven ; but he 
that doeth the will of my Father which is .in 
hoaven. Therefore all things whatsoever ye 
would that men should do to you, do ye even so 
to them; for this is the law and the prophets. 
Prov. v chap. 22, 23: Iiis own iniquities shall 
take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden 
with the cords of his sins. He shall die without 
instruction; and in the greatness of his tolly ho 
shall go astray, xiv chap. 32: *The wicked is 
driven away in his wickedness : but the righteous

shew them no favour, liii chap. 12: Therefore

the transgressors. lxvi chap. 24 : And they

quire at thine hand. Mat. v chap. 20 : For I

from thence. John iii chap. 36: Lie that be-

selves swift destruction. And through covet- 
ous ess shall they with feigned words make 
merchandise of you : whose judgment now of a 
long time lingereth not, and their damnation 
slumbereth not. For if God spared not the an- 
gels that sinned, but cast them down to hell,

to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment

devil that deceived them was cast into the lake 
of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the 
false prophet are, and shall be tormented day 
and ir.ght for ever and ever. And I saw the

fore the tares are gathered and burned in the 
fire ; so shall it be in the end of this world. And

Pharisees, hypocrites ! for ye devour widows'

On the Law. — First, The Moral Law. — 
Exod. xx chap. 3, 17: Thou shalt have no other 
gods before me. Thou shalt not covet thy neigh- 
hour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neigh- 
bour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maid- 
servant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing 
that is thy neigbour's. Rom. iii chap. 20 : There- 
fore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh 
be justified in his sight : for by the law is the 
knowledge of sin. iii chap. 28, 31, 27 : There- 
fore we conclude that a man is justified by faith 
without the deeds of the law, t>o we then make

void the law through faith ? God forbid : yea, 
we establish the law. Where is boasting then? 
It is excluded. By what law ? of works ? Nay : 
but by the law of faith. Gal. iii chap. 24: 
Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to 
bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified 
by faith. Rom. viii chap. 2, 3 : For the law of 
the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me 
free from the law of sin and death. For what 
the law could not do, in that it was weak through 
the flesh, God sending his own Son in the like- 
ness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin 
in the flesh. Gal. v chap. 4: Christ is become 
of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are jus- 
tified by the law ; ye are fallen from grace. 

Second, The Levitical Law. — Heb. vii chap. 
11 : If therefore perfection were by the Leviti- 
cal priesthood, (for under it the people re- 
ceived the law,) what further need was there 
that another priest should rise after the order 
of Melchizedek, and not be called after the 
order of Aaron ? Acts xv chap. 5, 10 : But 
there rose up certain of the sect of the Phari- 
sees which believed, saymg, That it was need- 
ful to circumcise them, and to command them 
to keep the law of Moses. ISTow therefore 
why tempt ye God, to put a yoke opon the 
neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers 
nor we were able to bear I xxi chap. 24 : 
Then take, and purify thyself with them, and 
be at charges with them, that they may shave 
their heads : and all may know that those things, 
whereof they were informed concerning thee, 
are nothing; but that thou thyself also walkest 
orderly, and keepestthe law. Bom. vichap. 14: 
For sin shall not have dominion over you : for 
ye are not undei the law, but under grace. 



HOLY SCRIPTURES. 105 

x chap. 4 : For Christ is the end of the law for 
righteousness to every one that believeth. 

Third, The Law of Heathens. — Rom. ii chap. 
13, 14, 15 : (For not the hearers of the law are 
just before God, but the doers of the law shall 
be justified. For when the Gentiles, which 
have not the law, do by nature the things con- 
tained in the law, these, having not the law, are 
a law unto themselves : Which shew the work 
of the law T written in their hearts, their con- 
science also bearing witness, and their thoughts 
the mean while, accusing or else excusing one 
another.) 

Fourth, The Law of Faith. — Kom. iii chap. 
27: Where is boasting then ? It is excluded. 
By what law ? of works ? Nay ; but by the law 
of faith. Psa. xix, 7 : The law of the Lord is 

EBrfect, converting the soul : the testimony of the 
ord is sure, making wise the simple. Psa. cxix, 
165 : Great peace have they which love thy law : 
and nothing shall offend them. Mat. v. chap, 
17, 18, 19: Think not that I am come to destroy 
the law, or the prophets : I am not come to des- 
troy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto yon, 
Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle 
shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be ful- 
filled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of 
these least commandments, and shall teach men 
so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom 
of heaven : but whosoever shall do and teach 
them, the same shall be called great in the king- 
dom of heaven, xxiii chap. 23 : Woe unto you, 
scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites ! for ye pay 
tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have 
omitted the weightier matters of the law, judg- 
ment, mercy, and faith : these ought ye to have 
done ? and not to leave other undone. 1 Cor e

ix chap. 20, 21 : And unto the Jews I became 
as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews ; to them 
that are under the law, as under the law, that I 
might gain them that are under the law; To 
them that are without law, as without law, 
(being not without law to God, but under the 
law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are 
without law. James i chap. 25 : But whoso 
looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and con- 
tinueth therein, he being not a forgettul hearer, 
but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed 
in his deed. 

On 'knowing our sins are forgiven. — 1 John 
iii chap. 14, 24 : We know that we have passed 
from death unto life, because we love the breth- 
ren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in 
death. And he that keepeth his commandments 
dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby 
we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit 
which he hath given us. v chap. 10, 19 : He 
that believeth on the Son of God hath the wit- 
ness in himself: he that believeth not God hath 
made him a liar; because he believeth not the 
record that God gave of his Son. And we know 
that we are of God, and the whole world lieth 
in wickedness. Job xix chap, 25: For I know 
that my Redeemer liveth, and that he shall 
stand at the latter clay upon the earth, xiii chap. 
18 : Behold now, I have ordered my cause ; I 
know that I shall be justified. Psa. xl, 1, 2: 
1 waited patiently for the Lord ; and he inclined 
unto me, and heard my cry. He brought me 
up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry 
clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and estab- 
lished my goings. Psa. lxvi, 16: Come and 
hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare 
what he hath done for my soul. Psa. ciii ?

Psa. cxvi, 1, 2, 6, 8 : I love the Lord, because 
h& hath heard my voice and my supplications. 
Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, there- 
fore will I call upon him as long as I live. The 
Lord preserveth the simple : I was brought low, 
and he helped me. For thou hast delivered my 
soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my 
feet from falling. Psa. cxix, 97, 113: O how 
love I thy law ! it is my meditation all the day. 
I hate vain thoughts : but thy law do I love. 
Isa. xxxviii chap. 17 : Behold, for peace I had 
great bitterness ; but thou hast in love to my 
soul delivered it from the pit of corruption : for 
thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back. 
John xxi chap. 17: He saith unto him the third 
time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me ? Pe- 
ter was grieved because he said unto him the 
third time, Lovest thou me ? And he said unto 
him, Lord, thou knowest all things ; thou know- 
est that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, 
Feed my sheep. Rom. v chap. 5 : And hope 
maketh not ashamed ; because the love of God 
is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost 
which is given unto us. viii chap. 15, 16: For 
ye have not received the spirit of bondage again 
to fear ; but ye have received the Spirit of adop- 
tion, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spi- 
rit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we 
are the children of God. 2 Cor. v chap. 1, 17 : 
For we know that, if our earthly house of this 
tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building 
of God, a house not made with hands, eternal 
in the heavens. Therefore if any man be in 
Christ, he is a new creature : old things are pas- 
sed away ; behold, all things are become new*

Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was

thee. Levit xxii chap. 21 : And whosoever of-

beeves or sheep, it shall be perfect to be accept-

ripening in the flower, he shall both cut off the 
sprigs with pruning hooks, and take away and

one that feareth God, and escheweth evil ? ii

thou movedst me against him, to destroy him 
without cause. 1 Cor. ii chap. 6 : Howbeit we

iv chap. 17, 18: Plerein is our love made per- 
fect, that we may have boldness in the day of 
judgment: because as he is, so are we in this 
world. There is no fear in love; but perfect 
love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment.

condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, 
who will walk not after the flesh, but after the 
Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ 
Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin 
and death. For if ye live after the flesh, ye 
shall die : but if ye through the Spirit do morti- 
fy the deeds of the body, ye shall live. And if 
Christ be in you, the body is dead because of 
sin ; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

as he is in the light, we have fellowship one

and in Jerusalem, saying, Go forth unto the 
mount, and fetch olive branches, and pine 
branches, and myrtle branches, and palm branch-

every one upon the roof of his house, and in 
their courts, and in the courts of the house of 
God, and in the street of the water gate, and in

congregation of them that were come again out

JSTun unto that day had not the ohildren of Israel 
done so. And there was very great gladness. 
Mat. viii chap. 1 to 9: When he was come down

clean . And immediately his leprosy was cleans -

man ; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, 
and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a

And immediately he received his sight, and fol- 
lowed Jesus in the way. Mat. xv chap. 22, 28 :

Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and

Lord God ; I will yet for this be inquired of by 
the house of Israel, to do it for them; I will in-

Third, The good effects of prayer. — Exod. ix 
chap. 33 : And Moses went out of the city from 
Pharaoh, and spread abroad his hands unto the 
Lord : and the thunders and hail ceased, and 
the rain was not poured upon the earth, xxxii 
chap. 7, 11, 14: And the Lord said unto Moses, 
Go, get thee down ; for thy people, which thou 
broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have cor- 
rupted themselves. And Moses besought the 
Lord his God, and said, Lord, why doth thy 
wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou 
hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with 
great power, and with a mighty hand ? And 
the Lord repented of the evil which he thought 
to do unto his people. 1 Kings xviii chap. ^36, 
38: And it came to pass at the time of the offer- 
ing of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the pro- 
phet came near, and said, Lord God of Abrham, 
Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this dav

servant, and that I have done all these things 
at thy word. Then the fire of the Lord fell, and 
consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and 
the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water 
that was in the trench. Luke i chap. 13: But

17 : And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, 
and the Lord shall raise him up ; and if he have 



130 CONCORDANCE OF THE 

committed sins they shall be forgiven him. 
Confess your faults one to another, and pray 
one for another, that ye may be healed. The 
effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man 
availeth much. Elias was a man subject to 
like passions as we are, and he prayed ear- 
nestly that it might not rain ; and it rained 
not on the earth by the space of three years and 
six months, v chap. 18 : and he prayed again, 
and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought 
forth her fruit. Acts ix chap. 11,40: And the 
Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street 
which is called Straight, and inquire in the 
house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus ; 
for, behold, he prayeth. But Peter put them 
all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed ; and 
turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. 
And she opened her eyes ; and when she saw 
Peter, she sat up. xii chap. 5, 7, 12 : Peter 
therefore was kept in prison ; but prayer was 
made without ceasing of the church unto God 
for him. And, behold, the angel of the Lord 
came upon him, and a light shinecl in the prison : 
and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him 
up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains 
fell off from his hands. And when he had con- 
sidered the thing, he came to the house of Mary 
of John, whose surname was Mark ; where many 
were gathered together praying, xvi chap.* 25. 
26 : And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, 
and sang praises unto God : and the prisoners 
heard them. And suddenly there was a great 
earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison 
were shaken; and immediately all the doors 
were opened, and every one's bands were loosed, 
ii chap. 21 : And it shall come to pass, that 
whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord 



HOLY SCRIPTURES. 131

Hezekiah sick unto death. And the prophet 
Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him, and said

in order; for thou shalt die, and not live. Then 
he turned his face to the wall, and prayed unto 
the Lord, saying, Turn again, and tell Hezekiah 
the captain of my people, Thus saith the Lord, 
the God of David thy father, I have heard thy 
prayer, I have seen thy tears : behold, I will 
heal thee : on the third day thou shalt go up 
unto the house of the Lord. And I will add 
unto thy days fifteen years ; and I will deliver 
thee and this city out of the hand of the king of 
Assyria ; and I will defend this city for mine 
own sake, and for my servant David's sake. 
Job xxxiii chap. 27, 28 : He looketh upon men, 
and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that 
which was right, and it profited me not ; He 
will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and 
his life shall see the light. Mark x chap. 46, 52 : 
And they came to Jericho : and as he went out 
of Jericho with his disciples and a great number 
of people, blind Bartimeus, the son of Timeus, 
sat by the highway side begging. And Jesus 
said unto him, Go thy way ; thy faith hath made 
thee whole. And immediately he received his 
sight, and followed Jesus in the way. Rom. x 
chap. 12, 13: For there is no difference between 
the Jew and the Greek ; for the same Lord over 
all is rich unto all that call upon him. For 
whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord 
shall be saved. 1 John iii chap. 22: And what- 



132 C05C0RDA5CE OP TS2 

soever we ask, we receive of him, because we 
keep bis commandments, and do those things 
that are pleasing in his sight. Hosearchap. 15: 
I will go and return to my place, till they ac- 
knowledge their offence, and seek my face : in 
their affliction they will seek me early.

And I saw an angel come down from heaven, 
having the key of the bottomless pit and a great 
chain in his hand. And cast him into the bot- 
tomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon 
him, that he should deceive the nations no more,

neither had received his mark upon their fore- 
heads, or in their hands ; and they lived and

Ye shall not surely die. Jer. v chap. 31: The

it so : and what will ye do in the end thereof? 
xxiii chap. 14, 17: 1 have seen also in the prophets 
of Jerusalem an horrible thing : they commit 
adultery, and walk in lies; they strengthen also 
the hands of evil doers, that none doth return 
from his wickedness ; they are all of them unto 
me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as 
Gomorrah. They say still unto them that des- 
pise me, The Lord hath said, Ye shall have 
peace ; and they say unto every one that walketh 
after the imagination of his own heart, No evil 
shall come upon you. xxiii chap. 22 : But if 
they had stood in my counsel, and had caused

prophets together, about four hundred men, and

Go up ; for the Lord shall deliver it into the 
hand of the king. And Zedekiah the son of 
Chenaanah made him horns of iron ; and he said, 
Thus saith the Lord, With these shalt thou push

speak that which is good. And the Lord said 
unto him, Wherewith ? And he said, I. will go 
forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth 
of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt 
persuade him, and prevail also : go forth, and 
do so. Isa, lvi chap. 10: His watchmen are

5, 11 : Thus saith the Lord concerning the pro- 
phets that make my people err, that bite with 
their teeth, and cry, Peace; and he that putteth 
not into their mouths, they even prepare war 
against him. The heads thereof judge for re- 
ward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and 
the prophets therof divine for money : yet will 
they lean upon the Lord, and say, Is not the 
Lord among us ? none evil can come upon us. 
2 Tim. iii chap. 4:, 5, 6 : Traitors, heady, high-

Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city,

thou dash thy foot against a stone. Je:iis said 
unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not

often one to another; and the Lord hearkened 
and heard it; and a book of rememberance was 
written before him for them that feared the Lord, 
and thought- upon his name. And they shall 
be mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day 
when I make up my jewels ; and I will spare 
them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth 
him. Psa. Ixvi, 16: Come and hear, all ye that 
fear God, and I will declare what he hath done

On Women^s prophesying. — Acts ii chap. 16,

prophet Joel. And it shall come to pass in the 
last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit 
upon all flesh : and your sons and your daugh- 
ters shall prophecy, and your young men shall see 
visions, and your old men shall dream dreams. 
xxi chap. 8, 9 : And the next day we that were 
of Paul's company departed, and came unto 
Cesarea ; and we entered into the house of

prophecy. Exod. xv chap. 20,24: And Mi- 
riam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a 
timbrel in her hancl ; and all the women went 
out after her with timbrels and with dances. 
And the people murmured against Moses, say-

5, 6 : Lord, when thou w r entest out of Seer, when 
thou marchedst out of the field of Edom, the 
earth trembled, and the heavens dropped, the 
clouds also dropped water. The mountains 
melted from before the Lord, even that Sinai 
from before the Lord God of Israel. In the 
days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days 
of Jael, the highways were unoccupied, and the 
travellers walked thro.ugh byways. 1 Sam. ii

Women must not rule in the Church. — See 
1 Cor. xi chap. 3, 5 ; But I would have you know 
that the head of every man is Christ ; and the 
head of the woman is the man ; and the head of 
Christ is God. But every woman that prayeth 
or prophesieth with her head uncovered, disho- 
noured her head ; for that is even all one as if 
she were shaven, xiv chap. 34: Let your wo- 
men keep silence in the churches ; for it is not 
permitted unto them to speak ; but they are 
commanded to be under obedience, as also 
saiththelaw. ITim. iichap. 12: But I suffer not 
a woman to teach, nor to usurp authoiity over

the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk

walking and mincing as they go, and making a 
tinkling w T ith their feet, iii chap. 17, 18, 19: 
Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the 
crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and 
the Lord will discover their secret parts. In 
that day the Lord will take away the bravery 
of their tinkling ornaments about their feet, and 
their cauls, and their round tires like the moon, 
The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers, 
iii chap. 20, 23 : The bonnets, and the ornaments 
of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, 
and the earrings. 1 Tim. ii chap. 9 : In like 
manner also, that women adorn themselves in 
modest apparel, with shame-facedness and so- 
briety ; not with brided hair, or gold, or 
pearls, or costly array. 1 Peter iii chap. 3 : 
Whose adorning, let it not be that outward 
adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of 
gold, or of putting on of apparel. 

On Baptism. — To Baptise with Water is to 
represent the gift of the Holy Spirit. — See Ezek. 
xxx vi chap. 25 : Then will I sprinkle clean water 
upon you, and ye shall be clean : from all your 
filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse 
you. Isa. Hi chap. 15 : So shall he sprinkle 
many nations ; the kings shall shut their mouths 
at him : for that which had not been told them 
shall they see, and that which they had not 
heard shall they consider. Heb. x chap. 22 : 
Let us draw near with a true heart, in full assu- 
rance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from 
an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with 
pure water, xii chap 24 : And to Jesus the 



HOLY SCRIPTURES. 143 

mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood 
of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than 
that of Abel. 1 Peter i chap. 2 : Elect accord- 
ing to the foreknowledge tf God the Father, 
through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedi- 
ence and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ : 
Grace unto you, and peace be multiplied. 

Under the Law "the blood of bulls and of 
goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the un- 
clean sanctineth to the purifying of the flesh."- — ■ 
See Heb. ix chap. 13, 19, 20, 21, 22 : For if the 
blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an 
heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the 
purifying of the flesh. For when Moses had 
spoken every precept to all the people accord- 
ing to the law, he took the blood of calves and 
of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hys- 
sop, and sprinkled both the book and all the 
people, Saying, This is the blood of the testa- 
ment which God hath enjoined unto you. More- 
over he sprinkled likewise with blood both the 
tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry. 
And almost all things are by the law purged 
with blood ; and without shedding of blood is no 
remission. 

In like manner the blood of Christ sprinkles 
the heart of the believer. — See 1 Peter i chap. 2 : 
Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the 
Father, through salification of the Spirit, unto 
obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus 
Christ : Grace unto you, and peace, be multi- 
plied. Heb. xii chap. 24 ; And to Jesus the 
mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood 
of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than 
that of Abel. Lev. xiv chap. 7 : And he shall 
sprinkle upon him that is to be cleansed from

the leprosy seven times, and shall pronounce 
him clean, and shall let the living bird loose into 
the open field* 

Why not sprinkling outwardly answer the 
conscience ? Moses sprinkled under the old 
covenant. — See Exocl. xxiv chap. 8, 12 : And 
Moses took the blood and sprinkled it upon the 
people, and said, Behold the blood of the cove- 
nant, which the Lord hath made with you con- 
cerning all these words. And the Lord said 
unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and 
be there ; and I will give thee tables of stone, 
and a law, and commandments which I have 
written ; that thou mayest teach them. 

And the blood of sprinkling under the new 
covenant. — See Lleb. xii chap. 24 : And to Je- 
sus the mediator of the new covenant, and to 
the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better 
things than that of Abel. 1 Cor. x chap. 2 : 
And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud 
and in the sea. 

Here they were baptized on dry ground. — See 
Exod. xiv chap. 22: And the children of Israel 
went into the midst of the sea upon the dn r 
ground : and the waters were a wall unto them 
on their right hand, and on their left. 

Further texts to prove Baptism bypouring — 
See Lev. xiv chap. 18 : And the remnant of the 
oil that is in the priest's hand he shall pour it 
upon the head of him that is to be cleansed : 
and the priest shall make an atonement for him 
before the Lord. Prov. i chap. 23 : Turn ye at

upon all flesh ; and your sons and your daugh-

Isa. xxxii chap. 15 : Until the Spirit be poured 
upon us from on high, and the wilderness be a 
fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted 
for a forest. Acts ii chap. 14 to 19 and 41 : 
But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted 
up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Ju- 
dea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this 
known unto you, and hearken to my words: 
For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing 
it is but the third hour of the day. But this is 
that which was spoken by the prophet Joel ; 
And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith 
God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh; 
and your sons and your daughters shall prophe- 
sy, and your young men shall see visions, and 
your old men shall dream dreams : And on my 
servants and on my handmaidens I will pour 
out in those days of my Spirit ; and they shall 
prophesy : Then they that gladly received his 
word were baptized : and the same day there 
were added unto them about three thousand 
souls.

John's Baptism not a Gospel Baptism. —

worthy to bear : he shall baptize you with the 
Holy Ghost and with fire. Luke vii chap. 29,

John Baptised unto Repentance. — Acts xiii 
chap. 24 : When John had first preached, before 
his coining, the baptism of repentance to all the 
people of Israel. Mat. iii chap. 6, 11 : And 
were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their 
sins. I indeed baptize you with water unto re- 
pentance : but he that corneth after me is mighti- 
er than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear :. 
he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and 
with fire. Luke ii chap. 1,3: And it came to 
pass in those days, that there went out a decree 
from Cesar Augustus, that all the world should 
be taxed. And all went to be taxed, every one 

into his own citv.

Some of John's Disciples were baptized over 
again. — Acts xix chap. 2 to 7 : He said unto 
them. Have ye received the Holy Ghost since 
ye believed ? And they said unto him, We have 
not so much as heard whether there be any Holy 
Ghost. And he said unto them, Unto what then 
were ye baptized ? And they said unto John's 
baptism. Then said Paul, John verily baptized 
with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the 
people, that they should believe on him which 
should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. 
When they heard this, they were baptized in the 
name of the Lord Jesus. And when Paul had 
laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came 
on them ; and they spake with tongues, and pro- 
phesied. And all the men were about twelve -.

lOG COtfCOKDANCE OF THE 

Xox is stated as asking the question, why God 
finds fault for who hath resisted his will.— See 
the answer, verse 22. " What if God willing 
to show his wrath and make his power known, 
(as he did in Pharaoh and others,) endured with 
much long suffering the vessels of wrath fitted 
to destruction.* 3 Not that God fitted, but they 
fitted themselves. — See Hosea viii chap. 7, 8, 
Hosea xiii chap. 9, Eomans ii chap. 5. 

God shewed his wrath and made his power 
known, on such characters, and no man resisted 
his will in it, yet God justly faulted Pharaoh 
and all such characters, for they once might 
have obeyed God. — See 

Luke xiii chap. 34, 35, Luke xix chap. 41, 42, 
Ezek. xx chap. 24, 25, 1 Thes. ii chap. 10, 11.

1 Thes. ii c. 15, Eev. iii c. 15, Isa. lxvi c. 3, 4. 

If all men did God's will, they would all be 
saved. — See Mat. vii chap. 21, 
John vii c. 17, Mark iii c. 35, 1 Tim. ii c. 4, 
Ezek. xxxiii c. 11, xviii 32, and verses 20, 21. 
By these verses we may understand, that as the 
potter has a right to make one vessel to honour 
and another to dishonour, so God may make 
men, who are called the clay vessels, unto ho- 
nour or dishonour, according to their conduct, 
whether they are Jews or Gentiles. See the 
next three verses and the three last in the chap- 
ter. Likewise Jeremiah xviii chap. 1, 2,

FOREKNOWLEDGE OF GOD. 



The following valuable dissertation on the Foreknowledge 
of God, by Dr. Adam Clarke, is taken from his Commentary 
on the Bible, and is worthy the careful perusal of every person . 

On that awful subject, the foreknoioledge of God, something 
has already been spoken, see ver. 23 * Though it is a sub- 
ject that no finite nature can comprehend, yet it is possible 
so to understand what relates to us in it, as to avoid those 
rocks of presumption and despondency on which multitudes 
have been shipwrecked. The Foreknowledge of God is 
never spoken of in reference to himself, but in reference to 
us in him properly, there is neither foreknoicledge nor after- 
nowUdge, Omniscience, or the power to know all things. 
is an attribute of God, and exists in him as omnipotence, or 
the power to do all things. He can do whatsoever he will ; 
and he does whatsoever is fit or proper to be done. God 
cannot have foreknowledge strictly speaking, because this 
would suppose that there was something coming, in what 
we call futurity, which had not yet arrived at the presence of 
the Deity. Neither can he have any afierknowledge strictly 
speaking, for this would suppose that something had taken 
place, in what we call preterity -or past time, had now got 
beyond the presence of the Deity. As God exists in all that 
can be called eternity, so he is equally every where: nothing 
can be future to him, because he lives in all futurity ; nothing 
can be past to him, because he equally exists in all past time: 
futurity and preterity are relative terms to us; but they can 
have no relation to that God who dwells in every po.nt of 
eternity, with whom all that Is past, all that is present, and 
an that is future to man, exists in one infinite, indivisable, 
and eternal NOW. As God's omnipotence implies his power 
to know all things: but w r e must take heed that we meddle 
not with the infinite free agency of this eternal Being. — 
Though God can do all things, he does not do all things. 
Infinite judgment directs the operations of his power, so that 

This U of Chap, ii in Acts, 



154 CONCORDANCE 

though he can, yet he does not do all tilings, but only such 
thing as are proper to he done. In what is called illimita- 
ble *pace he can mike millions of millions of systems; but 
he does not 9ee proper to do this. He can destroy the solar 
system ; but he does not do it : he can fashion and order in 
endless variety, all the d.fFerent beings which now exist, 
whether material, animal, or intellectual ; but he does not do 
this, because he does not see it proper to be done. There- 
fore, it does not follow that because God can di all things, • 
that therefore he must do all things. God is omniscient, 
and can know all things ; but does it follow from this, that 
he must knoic all things? Is he not as/ree in the volitions 
of his wisdom, as he is in the volitions of his power ? God 
has ordained some things as absolutely certain ; those he 
knows as absolutely certain. He has ordained other things 
as contingent ; these he knows as contingent. It would be 
absurd to say, that he foreknows a thing as only contingent, 
which he has made absolutely certain. And it would be as 
absurd to say, that he foreknows a thing to be absolutely 
certain, which in his own eternal counsel he has made con- 
tingent. By absolutely certain, I mean a thing which must 
be in that order, time, place and form, in which divine Wis- 
dom has ordained it to be; and that it can be no otherwise 
than (his infinite counsel has ordained. By contingent, I 
mean such things as the infinite wisdom of God has thought 
proper to poise on the possibility of being or not being, leav- 
ing it to the will of intelligent beings to turn the scale. To 
deny this would involve the most palpable contradictions, 
and the most monstrous absurdities. If there be no such 
tiling as contingencies in the world, then every thing is fixed 
and determined by an unalterable decree and purpose of God; 
and not only all free agency is destroyed, but all agency of 
every kind, except that of the Creator himself; for od this 
ground, God is the only operator either in time or eternity. 
All created beings are only instruments, and do nothing but 
as impelled and acted upon by this almighty and sole Agent. 
Consequently every set is his own; for if he have purposed 
them ail as absolutely certain, having nothing contingent in 
them, then he has ordained them to be so : and if no contin- 
gency, then no free agency, and God alone is the sole actor. 
Hence the blasphemous, though from the premises,/air con- 
clusion, that God is the author of all the evil and sin that are 
in the world; and hence follows that absurdity, that as God, 
can do nothing that is wrong, whatever is, is eight. Sin 
is no more sin: a vicious human action is no crime, if God 



COKCOEDANCE. 155 

have decreed it, and by his foreknowledge and will impelled 
the creature to act it. On this ground, there can be no 
punishment for delinquencies ; for if every thing be done as 
God has predetermined, and his determination must necessa- 
rily be all right, then neither the instrument nor the agent 
has done wrong. Thus all vice and virtue, praise and blame, 
merit and demerit, guilt and innocence, are at once confound- 
ed; and all distinctions of this kind confounded with them. 
Now, allowing the doctrine of the contingency of human 
actions, (and it must be allowed in order to shun the above 
absurdities and blasphemies) then we see every intelligent 
creature accountable for his own works, and for the use it 
makes of the power with which God has endowed it: and 
to grant all this consistently, we must also grant, that God 
foresees nothing as absolutely and inevitably certain, which 
he has made contingent, therefore he cannot know it as also- 
lutely and inevitably certain. I conclude that God, although 
omniscient, is not obliged, in consequence of this, to hioiv 
all that he can know ; no more than he is obliged, because he 
is omnipotent to do all that he can do. 

How many, by confounding the self and free agency of 
God with a sort of continual impulsive necessity, have raised 
that necessity into an all- commanding and over-ruling energy % 
to which God himself is made subject. Very properly did 
Milton set his damned spirits about such work as this, and 
has made it a part of their endless punishment. 

''Others apart sat on a hill retir'd ; 
In thoughts more elevate : and reason'd high 
Of Providence, foreknowledge, mill, and fate ; 
Fix'dfate, free-will, forehnoatedge absolute, 
And found no end in wand'ring mazes lost." 

Paradise Lost, b, ii. 1. 557.
